With this mutation, a frameshift occurs at 69-th position (p.Gly69fs, NM_001031726.3), which usually leads to neurodegeneration with the brain iron accumulation (NBIA), type 4 (OMIM: 614298). In described clinical case the main complaint of patient was visual impairment, with magnetic resonance imaging patient revealed only the expansion of the sellar fossa. The vision of 7-year-old boy decreased significantly for 2 years without any apparent reasons, spectacle correction did not give an improvement in vision to 100%. During the examination partial atrophy of the optic nerves was revealed, consultations were conducted with a neurologist, neurophthalmologist. Hyperreflexia, gait changes, and a slight delay in speech development were also revealed. No other clinical neurological symptoms were observed. The article describes a detailed ophthalmic clinical picture, discusses diagnostic and therapeutic tactics.
